Blanket of Blessings

The cold rains have left a blanket of snow on the local mountains. This is a wondrous site since it isn't often we can enjoy this view. Our winter temperatures are often inconsistent, bringing us snow one week and a heat wave the next.

When I see the snowy peaks, I can't help thinking of the blessings God gives us. He covers us with a layer of His love, followed by layers of grace and mercy. Unlike the snow on our mountains, God's blessings don't fade with irratic temperatures. In fact as we deal with hardships and trials, it seems that the blanket of His blessings increases, wrapping us tighter as we seek to cling to His goodness.

Be thankful for God's blanket of blessings. Isn't it wonderful to have such a loving and gracious God?!
